"Qegs is a nightmare for your child."

Bullying is very common in the secondary school. This issue should be addressed in nursery.

"Fantastic school with excellent values"

We are so impressed with the values of the school, particularly the emphasis on mutual respect and individuality. Our child has thrived in the friendly and supportive environment. The new sports hall and activities studio are a bonus too!

"Wonderful school with a strong sense of community"

We were a bit nervous about our child joining Year 7, but the induction process was seamless and our child settled in quickly. The school garden and radio station are great touches, and we love the emphasis on hard work and individuality. Highly recommend!

"Excellent school, but communication could improve"

We were very happy with our experience at Queen Elizabeth's. Our child excelled academically and personally, and we loved the range of extra-curricular activities. However, we sometimes found it hard to get information from the school, so communication could be improved.
